Why Choose the Cembre 2190460 A5-2M8-24-24 Double Hole Copper Compression Terminal?
The Cembre 2190460, also identified as the Cembre A5-2M8-24-24, is a premium double-hole copper compression terminal designed to provide exceptionally secure, low-resistance electrical terminations for stranded and flexible copper conductors. Its twin-bolt palm offers superior mechanical stability, making it ideal for applications subject to vibration, high fault currents and electrodynamic forces.
Manufactured from greater than 99.9% pure electrolytic copper tube, the terminal is annealed to maximise ductility during crimping and electrolytically tin plated to provide outstanding corrosion resistance. The seamless barrel incorporates a chamfered entry and inspection hole to simplify conductor insertion and help achieve consistent, professional-quality compression crimps.
Designed for 25 mm² copper conductors, the Cembre A5-2M8-24-24 features two M8 fixing holes with 24 mm centres, making it ideal for switchgear, busbar connections, industrial control panels, OEM machinery and power distribution equipment requiring enhanced mechanical security.

Maximum Mechanical Security for Critical Power Connections
Double-hole compression terminals provide a permanent electrical and mechanical connection while preventing terminal rotation during installation or operation. The twin-bolt fixing distributes mechanical loads evenly across the connection, making these terminals particularly suitable for high-vibration environments and critical power distribution applications.
The Cembre A-2M Series is widely specified where additional fixing security is required, including switchgear, busbars, transformers, industrial machinery and heavy-duty electrical installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Switchgear and busbar systems.
- Power distribution equipment.
- Motor control centres.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
- High-vibration industrial electrical installations.
